Aesop Lamb of Vengeance




I realize now... that vengeance is spelled wrong.... so very very wrong.







The tip of the iceberg of character designs and environments from last quarters pitch class... more to come. Get eager.

NO.13 to hell...



Page one of three for the same vis 1 class. Super secret plans for this in the future...


Drawings of people I know, one of which is featured in the comic above, can you find him!? (secret hint: he's probably holding knives).




These are just a few things I really want to make a habit of:
drawing some one I know each day (see above) or a fictitious beast each day (see below) and back yard hog roasting...every so often (see bottom)



(super secret plans for this here boar warrior too)




i'll probably dedicate a post to a pig pickn' here soon but in the mean time :
So we threw this last fall in honor of Chris's birthday and it involved 60lbs of a whole hog being slow cooked over an open pit for 11 hours...oh and every one had to wear flannel... that seemed pretty necessary. Needless to say it was a lot of work and countless experts (with the exception of Andrew and Aileen over at Angel's BBQ who made all the difference) told us with out experience it would just be a disaster, but we figured it out, it was tasty, and it's high time we had another one... but next time NOT on a sunday for booze should have been a bigger part of the equation.

Fear and Loathing senior year

Senior year and I'm just about ready to get in a vintage caddy with a trunk full of drugs and drive into oblivion... but since my wholesome upbringing and pet responsibilities would never allow me to do such a thing thank goodness I got assigned this script in Visual Storytelling I to pencil and vicariously live out my reckless fantasies. It's no small wonder that this is probably the tightest I have ever penciled in that class (and in my life), and although I know it'll only make my pages better in the long run, I still found every chance in that class to rebel and poop out a page of scribbled figures and half drawn environments... which is why my teacher hated me... and still does.

But hey... AT LEAST THERES THIS:






I plan on inkin' them on a rainy day.

Swamp Beasts

So I guess drawing alligators is a secret love of mine...









probably because I fear them....

Villains



It's an age old rule: your heros are only ever as good as your villains and so I thought it appropriate to dedicate a post to the opposition:

A shady pet store owner with an appropriate mustache ...




A washed up magician also sporting a sinister mustache...



A man of science who had it then lost it all...



A nazi bus driver...



A mean lady bully yukin' it up at the expense of the weak...




Big mean boys who play sports...



And the blind angry masses always out for blood...




Just an angry few out of Tesana's rouge gallery in A Home for Mr.Easter

We'll get to know them a little better in the near future...
specifically whenever I get my home work done... which is at the moment a very real villain.

p.s.
LOVIN' this song and you might too:

IM FINISHED!



FINALLY the unveiling of a project that's been eating my life for a year: A Home for Mr. Easter! It's slated to come out in April and is being put out by NBM! woop woop!
I actually finished two days ago, but I have just recovered from an 18 hour sleep fest... which by the way really hurts waking up from, how do the bears do it every winter?

For pre orders and a preview click this here link:  http://www.nbmpub.com/comingup/comapril.html

And for blog posts on the NBM blog you can get there this way:
I'm so tempted to write something on one of Trondheim's little nothings posts... but everything I think of seems dumb and screams fanboy, so I'll lay low and gather courage and cleverness for that day.


I'm planning on attending MoCCA and may be selling copies then, who knows, it's a world of possibilities!

THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE HELP and SUPPORT! You all helped me to the finish line and it wouldn't have happened with out you! 

IM FINISHED!

Something Old Something New










I know I shouldn't but I am... 

Here's a character from a few years ago I used for the school newspaper with a shiny new design (for better or worse) that I've got secret plans for.... so secret at the moment I myself don't know.

AESOP LAMB of VENGEANCE -->

A vigilante lamb who speaks softly and carries a big stick...

Dream Boat Mondays...

So with the start of the new year Chris and I are beginning Sexy Sundays and Dream Boat Mondays where we pick a theme, in this case Johnny Quest, and then we each choose a character that we in our heart of hearts know is far too sexy/dreamy to not have an illustration dedicated to their splendor. 
Chris has Sundays and will honor the sabbath every week with his personal pick and I have the joy of uploading on Mondays with the ultimate goal to make mondays not suck quite so much.

So this week I picked Race Bannon, of course, and Ill post it officially in colored glory next monday when we get to see who Chris will award his sexy pick to... Dr. Zim perhaps? One can only hope.
